A MEMORIAL wall could be built at Nelson cemetery.
The graveyard is the only one in Pendle without a wall for the interment of ashes and Nelson committee asked if it was possible to provide one.
Council staff have come up with two ways of funding the scheme which would be similar to the wall at Wheatlands Cemetery in Earby.
The committee could pay for the wall, which would remain the property of Pendle Council, and sell the niches with a memorial plaque and inscription of up to 60 letters.
Alternatively, it could ask a monumental mason to provide the wall free of charge and charge the council every time a niche is sold. The wall would belong to the mason.
Nelson committee will debate the scheme at a town hall meeting on Monday.
